NationalCouncillor
Grimm[1]

OurParty has decided to accept without reservations
the proposal that the Russian émigrés should travel through
Germany, and to organise this journey at
once.[2]We
already expect to have more than ten participants in the
journey.

Weabsolutely decline responsibility for any further delay,
resolutely protest against it and are going alone. We
earnestly request you to make the arrangements immediately and,
if possible, let us know the decision tomorrow.

Withgratitude,Lenin, Zinoviev, Ulyanova
